How are you ringing in the new year?

Black Eyed Pea and Collard Green Soup - the perfect Southern New Year's Tradition

Well if you are in my family – right now we are bringing in the new year with germs. Yes we are sick. AGAIN. And this weather going from 67 degrees at the end of December to 33 degrees every other day does not seem to be helping.

But if you are like most people the new year will start off with champagne or black eyed peas. If you aren’t from the south then you might be looking at me with a perplexed look on your face wondering why black eyed peas? Well it’s considered to be a lucky food and to bring prosperity in the new year. So I figured why not combine black eyed peas and another southern staple of some collard greens? And let’s not forget the biscuits to go with it!

Black Eyed Pea and Collard Green Soup - A quick and easy meal for those busy week-nights

I’m keeping this short and sweet today because if you are anything like our family you are still trying to make your way through all the piles of new gifts you got. I am hoping to be consistent for yall in the new year still doing Thursday recipe posts and back to Monday weekly menus. – I should say next month to be specific. It’s my busiest time of year for work (HR) so hopefully I’ll be back soon! If I do go radio silence for a little while you now know why.

But until then Happy New Year from my family to yours!

    I’m not from the south, but I always have a pot of black eyed peas and collard greens on New Year’s Day. Your soup is making me crave it already!
